Aka, votes for sale? The Supreme Court decision Thursday allowing corporations and unions to spend whatever they want on political attack ads is huge. It’s a matter of time before some brand backs a candidate. Others may complain that they’re being hit up for donations, but it’s just a question of which brand or corporation crosses the final frontier and throws their logo on a campaign bus. Impossible? Maybe, except for brands like Pepsi, which sure drafted behind the branded Optimism of 2008.

If I were Thomas Edison or Mark Twain, I'd have something witty to say about this falderal.
All I can say is ...
I vote for anything Apple endorses.
Or maybe Google.
In the end, the real deal is when the President is a brand. Like Obama. We've got the Clinton Brand, the Obama Brand ... and not to forget the Kennedy Brand. These folks can sell anything. Just 'bout.
